Does it really take 15 minutes to recharge the batteries?

yes about 15-20 minutes BUT it only worked with 1 pair of batteries out of my 4 pairs of Duracell batteries.

It may if the batteries are completely discharged. If they have a partial charge remaining, it usually doesn't take the entire 15 minutes.

It depends on the charge status of the battery. Sometimes 5 minutes will do it.

Yes, but I believe it is only with Duracell batteries. Been looking for this for a long long time and am happy with it as it is a pain to wait 12 hours or more for them to charge.

Yes!! My son's use it all the time to recharge the batteries for their wireless Xbox controllers. Definitely worth the money to buy. I've EASILY saved money from not having to buy batteries. I've replaced charger once after a few years of fairly heavy use and its still worth it after another purchase. Hope this helps with your decision.

With my experiance, it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes per pair. Sometimes one of the batteries will complete their charge sooner as indicated by the Green light associated with the corresponding battery.

My own personal experience was that the FIRST time I recharged them it took a longer than expected time -- almost three hours. After that it took roughly two, depending on how depleted the charge was. (It is okay to "top them off", unlike rechargeable AA batteries.) Yes, the light does change when it is finished charging.Hope that is the information you need.

It does not take long. Charge an hour or so before using and leave the second battery charging while you use the first one and then just alternate use of each.

I'm not sure, I've never had to recharge from 0%, but it usually takes about 90 minutes to recharge from under 50%

I believe the instructions said that AAA batteries take six hours for a full charge and AA take seven hours. I put mine in the charger after each days' use. It takes about three hours to top them off.

Yes. the radio recharges the rechargable batteries while they are inside the radio as long as the radio is plugged in. It takes about three to four hours. I am still on my first pair of batteries and they have been recharged about ten times or so. I am not sure that batteries charge if you are plugged in and listening to the radio though.

I have two sizes of batteries - the large one can take up to 2 hours if it close to total discharge. The smaller battery (the one that came with my camcorder) takes about an hour.

not easily -- they recharge themselves in normal operation. We havent done any thing to stress-test how long the batteries last before needing recharge.

probably a couple of hours if substantially discharged. The batteries I'm charging are not totally discharged - I just top them off every couple of weeks to keep them fully charged and it takes 15 - 30 min.

It takes mine 8 to 10 hours for a complete recharge. I dont leave it on charge all the time. My last Battery lasted three years good for a lead acid battery.

yes, it takes about 3hrs to recharge after an initial 5hr primary charge. works good.

About 30 to 35 minutes but it does hold its cutting power until it stops. It recharged fully in about 15 to

No--you plug it in to recharge and it takes a few hours, which would probably use up batteries. But you get about 6 hours talk time once it's fully-charged. Although as it has gotten older, I'm finding I now get about 4 hours. Need to replace soon.

No, not this one. It has to be manually plugged in and takes about 10 hours to recharge.

It takes very little time to charge, maybe an hour. I can definitely say not more than 2. I haven't timed it yet. I just know it's pretty quickly. It certainly charges faster than my old rechargeable batteries LOL

Yes! But the battery runs out pretty quick, so you might just make it to 1 hour and 50 minutes, then it needs recharging.
